Synopsis:Picking up six months after Dark
Lords of the Sith, Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma are
implementing their insidious plan for revitalizing the Golden
Age of the Sith. While insinuating his darkside
teachings to Jedi students on the planet Ossus, it
becomes clear that Kun is only concerned with securing a
powerful Sith Holocron from its sealed repository in the
great library of Ossus. Ulic has devoted himself to
developing the darkside military strategy, the key to
which may just be winning the loyalty of the ferocious
warrior race led by a masked mysteryman named Mandalore.
Ulic Qel-Droma spent years learning to control the
Force. He wanted to be on the side of the good, a member
of the Jedi elite. But it is not the Force one must
control to become a Jedi; rather, one must learn to
control oneself. Ulic Qel-Droma has tasted power, and
now he cannot fight the dark hunger inside him . . .
Ulic Qel-Droma has fallen victim to the spell of the
dark side, and now he must stand before the Jedi masters
to answer for his crimes. But another from within the
Jedi ranks has taken up his mantle of evil. Exar Kun is
turning his doting apprentices into Sith-possessed
assassins and sending them out to kill the Jedi masters,
and the fate of the entire Jedi force hangs in the
balance!
The deadly Jedi assassination pogrom has begun! It's
Jedi against Jedi as Exar Kun and his young followers,
"the Brotherhood of the Sith," have risen up
against their former Jedi Masters. Sorely outnumbered,
only a miracle could save them and a miracle is what
they get! The legendary Jedi knights, Cay, Nomi Sunrider,
and Sylvar stand between the Brotherhood and the Jedi
Masters, and neither side will quit until the other has
fallen!
It's Jedi against Jedi, brother against brother, and
blood will spill. Brothers Cay and Ulic Qel-Droma lead
their respective Jedi forces against one another: Cay
with his honorable but unproven students, Ulic with the
ascendant Dark Jedi horde. As the forces clash on the
planet Ossus, the right to the powerful historical
artifacts of the ancient Jedi await the victor.
The storm clouds of battle gather over Yavin Four, and
that entire world could be a casualty! To make his final
stand against Jedi Nomi Sunrider, the betrayer Ulic
Qel-Droma has let slip the dogs of war in a final,
climactic confrontation.
